Maybe your understanding of "successfull" is twisted. Earning enough to not worry about money is all that you need to be successfull imo. But i guess many are not fortunate enough to have that.

The problem is if you earn that money doing something you hate, you'll very often find that no amount of money is enough to compensate for your loss of happiness. The trick is finding a way to earn enough money not to have to worry while doing something you enjoy (or at least can tolerate) doing.

Good point, im probably quite naive in that regard simply because i was lucky enough to have found a great and secure job.

I'm glad to hear that and I wish you all the best. The world can certainly use more happy and fulfilled people right now.
